Jérôme Boateng rejects the judge

Soccer world champion Jérôme Boateng rejects the judge in his assault trial. On Wednesday, his defense attorneys filed a motion for bias against Judge Andreas Forstner before the Munich I Regional Court. The give "to recognize that permissible defense behavior can and will have an aggravating effect," said Boateng's lawyer Norman Nathan Gelbert. The accused must therefore assume that “the verdict has already been determined”.

Forstner had previously called on the defense attorneys not to artificially prolong the process with numerous requests for evidence, and said that procedural behavior could affect the sentencing in the verdict. The court rejected the application for bias.

"The application only serves to delay the procedure," said Forstner. “Procedural purposes” are intended. "You reprimand that in the revision and that's fine," said Forstner when the defense wanted to discuss the application further.

Forstner had previously emphasized that he wanted to end the process, which was originally scheduled for two days of trial, on Wednesday, the third day of the process.

The 34-year-old Boateng is accused of insulting, hitting and injuring his then partner on a Caribbean vacation in 2018. The district court in Munich had sentenced him to a fine of 1.8 million euros last year. Because all those involved in the process appealed against this verdict, the appeal process started in October.

"The judge suggested a deal, but Boateng didn't want to take it," WELT reporter Klaus Kiefer on the assault process against the footballer. Jérôme Boateng decided to appeal. He is said to have hit his girlfriend, so the allegation.
